lars last year for you to come in and
ask how we were."

rARM AND HOUSEHOLDS.

FEEDING MIXED FERD.-There are
two cardinal principles In relation to
mixed feed: first. that mixed feeds are
better than plain; secoud, that all the
elements Of the mixture should be fed
each day. instead of one element for one
day or one week. aud another for an
other day or week. Thus, for instance,
t the experiments at Rotbamste=d, En-
gland, showed that eight pound of peas,
or six pounds of oi!-cake meal, would
make pound Of live weight; while.
of peas and oil.cake meal mixed, four
and one-half pounds would suffice. IL
is asan element of mixed feed that roots
attain their greatest value. Thus, in
great majority Of cases, it will be found
that sheep receiving three pounds of
bright wheat straw, aud six pounds oil
turnips, per day. will increase
rs much in weight, or keep in as good
condition, as another with three pounds
ofthe best timothy hay; while the former
will cost less.
1t has been ascertained that 10 keep
sheep in good thriving condition. fifteen
pounds of perfectly dry feed tof average
good quality, is required per week for
each one hundred pounds oflive weight.
But since hay aud grain, in their ordi-
nary condition, contain about fourteen
per cent. of water, from eighteen TO
twenty pounds per week will be neces-
sary. or about three pounds per day. To
facilitate digestion aud prevent cousti-
patton, il would be well if an equivalent
of this amount of nutriment could be eX-
banded in bulk, so as To weigh seven or
eight pounds.-American Agricahwist.
BAKED RoLkY-PoLEY.-One quart of
prepared flour, two full tablespoonfu.s
of lard, two cups of milk, yelk of an egg,
one teaspoonful of salt, "a large cup of
lam, marmalade or canned (and strained
berries, well sweetened: Sift flour and
salt together: beat the yelk light and
stir into the milk; chop up the shorten
ing into the -four until well incorpora-
ted, wet the flour with the milk into
good dough; run out half an inch thick
spread with the fruit and roll up closely
pinch the outer edges together and lay
the roll, the Joined sides downward, in
Toured baking pan bake until brown
ed; wash over with whipped white of
egg and send to table: eat with hard
sauce.

CHOCOLATE CREAM Mix two ounces
OF Bermuda arrowroot smoothly with
one and a-half gills cold water; and

utes, stirring continually. Remove it

flavor with vanilla or rose; continue
stirring till it creams, then roll into little
balls. Melt some chocolate over steam,
(add no water, and when the cream
balls are cold roll them in it one by one
aud lay OH butrered slab to cool. The
creams may be varied by dividing the
cream into three parts, adding grated
eocoanut to one, chopped almonds to
another and pistachios to the third.

1t is with sincere pleasure that We
note how generally not only the Grange,
but other agricultural papers are print
ing these weekly columns CLEANED from
our National Grange field. Literally
from Maine to Oregon are these good
rural papers cooperating in the work OF
showing the farmers of our country The
necessity Of organization and laying be-
fore their readers the practical work and
progress of the twenty year old Grange.
A careful record " i'll be kept OF all these
favorable journals and their names pub
lished in our National Grange reports at
the end Of the year, that Patrons may
know who are willing to said us in our
efforts towards reform" and advance
the Interests of our whole country by
organizing, educating and protecting
this most important class that feeds and
sustains all the rest. Farmers are more
AMI more learning the value of the agri-
cultural press and to stand by and to
support those that are doing most for
them.

There is much talk abroad Of a steam
balloon which IS being built by VI.
Yon. The folm is that Of fish. and its
dimensions arc gigantic, the length be-
ing 200 feet. 1t is TO be enclosed in the
usual manner in net, from which the
car will be suspended. The latter will
be provided with ruddcr and trape-
zoidal screw, to be driven by compact
steam engine, weighing $40 pounds.
This weight allow seventy pounds per
indicated horse power. VI. Yon, in an
account which he has published Of his
invention, says that nc hopes to attain a
speed, in a calm atmosphere, OF thir-
teen OF fourteen miles second. Such
speed would not disgrace one Of the
inferior members Of the planetary sys-
tom, but possibly W Yon means hours
when he talks of seconds.

The corn crop of 1887, now estimated
by the Agricultural department at
LOO, coo, 900 bushels, is the smallest
in ten years but one, in 1881, when it
was only 100000, 600 The present
yield is larger because of an increase in
the south, which has raised 100, 600, 900
bushels more corn than two years ago.
The great corn States, Indiana, Illinois
Iowa and Kansas, have scarcely half a
crop.
